A prisoner fights his way out through a chain of jailers. Nothing but boss fights, set to a pounding synth soundtrack.

Help on offer

An easier 'Promenade' mode is available.

What you do

Mix close-range sword duels with twin-stick bullet patterns against ten distinct, multi-phase bosses.

Who it suits

Players who want pure boss fights with no filler.

First contact

A stranger frees you, and the first jailer is waiting. You will lose a few times, and every loss teaches.

The grind

Walks between bosses are calm and atmospheric, then the next fight explodes.

When to cool down

Each boss is a natural stopping point.
